Undefeated UCLA has climbed to No. 4 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings following a decisive win at Minnesota.
The Bruins sit at 9-0 overall after securing a 34-20 victory in Minneapolis, jumping four spots in the top 25 released on Tuesday night, according to the LA Times.
Georgia ascended to the No. 1 spot in the rankings following previous No. 1 Miami’s loss to Notre Dame, as reported by the LA Times. Utah climbed one spot to No. 2 with an identical 9-0 record, making the Utes and Bruins the only undefeated teams in the country.
Meanwhile, Alabama claimed the No. 3 ranking with a 7-2 record. Behind UCLA at No. 4 sit Notre Dame at No. 5 and Texas at No. 6, rounding out the upper echelon of the selection committee’s current postseason bracket.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Georgia | 8-1 | Ascended following Miami loss |
| 2 | Utah | 9-0 | One of two undefeated teams |
| 3 | Alabama | 7-2 | Claimed the No. 3 spot |
| 4 | UCLA | 9-0 | Earned its highest College Football Playoff ranking |
UCLA will look to protect its unblemished record when the team hosts Illinois on Friday. The Bruins will then travel to face Michigan on Nov. 21 before returning home to the Rose Bowl for a high-stakes crosstown rivalry showdown against USC.
The Trojans enter this stretch ranked No. 18 after moving up two spots following a bye week. USC must first play a road test against No. 9 Indiana on Saturday and host Maryland on Nov. 21 before turning full attention to the late-November clash with the Bruins.
Boise State checks in at No. 24, maintaining its status as the only non-Power Four team represented in the top 25. The rankings will be released weekly until Selection Sunday on Dec. 6, when the playoff field will be revealed.
